The three-eared mouse is a pretty good emblem of where medical science could take us in the new millennium. The burgeoning field known as tissue engineering didn’t even exist 15 years ago.

And a handful of visionaries are pursuing brain and eye devices that would incorporate both living tissue and electronic gadgetry–A la cyborgs....
